Please Digg: Man Comes Home To Find House Demolished by City!!

belleville.com — This guy's house was demolished by the city while he was out of town simply for the bricks the house was made of! Now the city's giving him the runaround claiming they didn't do anything wrong! Hopefully Digg can get this poor guy some national attention and shame the city into fixing the situation.

I was wondering if the bricks have a historical value .. as in can they be used to rebuild some part of the city that is missing .. is this why the house was demolished .. have the bricks already been collected or sold!! Was the gentleman and his family planning to reside there? What happened to the person who sold the property? I was wondering perhaps if this could be a sit com!!

I think Pink Floyd could probably sum it up "all in all it's just another brick in the wall"!

You know what? While I'm at it...Gopy, Digg isn't your site, it is OUR site. Everyone's. It was created to provide such a service. If a story is submitted and it gets over 5000 diggs, it should be here. Digg is what WE make it. If we use to help someone that is just a perk of having a caring community. So, gopy and other folks who want to complain about Digg helping someone, enjoy Digg. Try helping someone for once. It is rewarding, and if you ever need help, wouldn't it be great to know a group of people might come together to help a total stranger such as yourself even?

I don't get this. Big business is always thinking about big money, and putting people into debt. Debt make people me mad from third world country. <a class="user" href="http://wowdebt.info">http://wowdebt.info</a> is a good source about debt, I think its just like the wiki article.
